<nettime> suggestions for Speculative Violence: the visual politics of AI-powered authoritarianism


Dear nettimers
for those who don't know me I'm Donatella Della Ratta, teaching Media
Studies at John Cabot University in Rome and former lead of the
Arabic-speaking community with Creative Commons.
My new book, *Speculative Violence: The Visual Politics of AI-Powered
Authoritarianism
<https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2957-speculative-violence>*,
<https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2957-speculative-violence> will be
published by Haymarket Books at the end of this year, and it's coming up in
Italian on Sept 29 under the title Violenza Speculativa. Come l'IA ci sta
abituando all'orrore
<https://www.einaudi.it/catalogo-libri/problemi-contemporanei/violenza-speculativa-donatella-della-ratta-9788806274450/>
.
Given the timeliness of its themes -including AI-powered authoritarianism
and the inner violence of generative AI- I would love to ask this wonderful
community for suggestions of journalists, reviewers, or media outlets that
might be interested in covering it -both in English or other
languages...I've actually published a piece in French
<https://legrandcontinent.eu/fr/2026/09/04/sur-la-violence-speculative-de-lia/>
touching upon the use of speculative violence  by the far-right.

Many thanks for any suggestions!

Warmly,
Donatella
